How it feels

A tense, bleak journey where every decision carries weight and resources are scarce.

What players say

Players consistently call this a narrative survival game where choices matter and multiple endings exist. But they split sharply: some enjoy the branching story, while many find the plot dull, the English translation broken, and the choices illusionary. The UI is criticized for excessive dialogue boxes. Comparisons to This War of Mine are frequent, usually unfavorable.
